This craft requires extra parent involvement and a watchful eye, because it may require sharp tools or intricate handiwork.

This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

Tip: Don't have time to make the character wands? Use store-bought bubble wands or create your own with craft supplies such as pipe cleaners, Wikki Stix, or Bendaroos.

Directions

Step 1: Mix up a batch of bubbles!

Slowly mix the dishwashing detergent and water in a large bowl or bucket. Add the glycerin or light corn syrup and gently stir the mixture with the whisk. Set the bubble solution aside.<br><br>
For longer-lasting bubbles, make the bubble solution the night before and leave the container uncovered.

Step 2: Create a cool container

Print and cut out the Bubble Guppies labels. Let you child select a label, then paste or tape it onto the jar. Consider securing the label on using cellophane tape to protect it from getting damaged by the bubble solution.<br><br>
Once the jar is dry, carefully pour the bubble solution inside and fasten the lid on the jar.

Step 3: Make character wands

Print out the bubble wand stencils and cut out the images. Trace the cutouts onto yogurt or plastic lids then cut the images out of the lids.

Step 4: Enjoy the bubble kit!

You and your child are all done making the bubble kit and it's time to test your bubble-blowing skills! Have a friendly contest with your child to see who can blow the biggest bubble--or, how about catching or counting bubbles together! You can even get active with your child by running, jumping, and spinning to make bubbles!
